Chapter 223
In the scorching sun, in the open space in front of the bamboo building, there were five meters of drying mats spread out. The rice harvested by Liu Xiu was exposed to the sun. If it was not dried, it would not take long to mold and rot.
The sun in early autumn is very fierce. In such a weather, the rice can be dried thoroughly in half a day.
The mat was created by Liu Xiu before harvesting food. Although his musical talent is so low that it makes people cover his face, it is very easy to prepare daily tools such as mats, which may be because he grew up in the countryside.
The rice in the drying mat is full, and the particles are even larger than what Liu Xiu saw in Qingliu Town. It is golden in color, and under the sunlight, it even emits a unique fragrance.
Liu Xiu grabbed it and looked it in his hand, his eyes flashed, and he quickly guessed why the rice he planted was so excellent.
The rice was born with magical blue water droplets. It was not fertilized or even fertilizer in the farmhouse. Irrigation was also made from the snow water melted and flowing down from snow mountains. By various reasons, ordinary rice became this unique "scented rice".
"I don't know if I can use this rice as seeds next year. I don't know if it can be further optimized. Perhaps after a few times, the genetic changes of the rice will be changed without the nourishment of blue water droplets. Moreover, the yield of the rice I planted is nearly one-third higher than that of outside farmers. If it is further optimized, the yield will increase again. If the rice is genotyped in the future, it will be promoted and countless people will be able to live in this world..."
If you are successful, you can help the world. To be honest, Liu Xiu does not have such selfless and noble sentiments, but if he can also get fun and happiness from it by doing some good things that are beneficial to the public, he will not mind at all.
Of course, it is impossible to optimize and promote rice seeds in a short time. He himself doesn’t know whether it can be cultivated successfully. It takes time to experiment, and this time can be used in years.
Moreover, even if rice seeds are optimized and cultivated successfully, you must be very cautious in promoting them. After all, the consequences are significant. If you are not careful, it will cause huge impacts and may even cause trouble for yourself.
Just like Liu Xiu wanted to promote the cultivation methods and tools of crops, he could not act randomly. Many times, quick success and instant benefits would obviously turn into bad things.
Throwing the rice in his hand into the drying mat, Liu Xiu looked back and looked at the bamboo house.
In a higher terrain behind the bamboo building, he dug a cellar. The sweet potatoes he recovered were stored. The cellar was covered with dry straw, which greatly extended the storage time of sweet potatoes without worrying about rottenness and deterioration.
Secondly, under the eaves of the bamboo building, strings of fiery red peppers are hung like curtains, which looks gratifying.
"I have grown a little more peppers. If I eat them alone, I will probably have to eat them for a few years. I will plant less next year, just enough to eat them." Liu Xiu said in his heart as he looked at a bunch of peppers.
Liu Xiu had already placed two large granaries made of bamboo in the bamboo building, and he could only hold the rice after it was dried.
Although the crops had been almost harvested, he was not idle.
With a thought, the long sword that was forged in the bamboo building flew out and flew into the bamboo forest in the distance. After a moment, the old bamboos were cut off and flew over.
Afterwards, Liu Xiu's long sword was used to break the old bamboo, and cut it into bamboo strips. Countless bamboo strips were woven in the air, and the drying mats were quickly woven and fell to the ground.
For Liu Xiu, his magical abilities can really save him too much effort when he uses them in life.
After he had prepared more than ten drying mats, he used bamboo silk to make many small bamboo baskets for spare use.
Next, he looked at the fruit forest not far away. When his heart arose, he fell from the branches and flew over. A few knives flew in the air, peeling off the skin of the fruit and turning into small pieces. The small pieces fell on the mat to survive the sunlight.
Fruits are not something you can eat at any time. He has to dry some dried fruits and can taste the sweet taste of the fruits at any time when he wants to eat them in the future.
Of course, for Liu Xiu, it is not easy to eat fresh fruits at any time, but it is not impossible. After all the fruits were dried, he became a porter.
I went to the snow mountain to dig out ice cellars, and then stored the fruit in the ice cellar. In the future, I could eat fresh fruits at any time. It is really appropriate to store fruits in the natural snow mountain ice cellar.
The so-called life is the little things in daily life. Eating, drinking, defecating, urinating, and sleeping are the main themes. Liu Xiu does not feel it is cumbersome at all, but enjoys it.
After these busy days, Xiaobai came to Liu Xiu from time to time and actually took the initiative to express his intention to help, but he was rejected by Liu Xiu.
I have to say that Xiaobai's wisdom has further grown. Although it still seems very immature now, some simple meanings can be expressed. Of course, only Liu Xiu can understand what it specifically wants to express.
Now the bee swarm led by Xiaobai has become a domineering place in this area. Birds and beasts dare not approach it, and they don’t know if it is because of the instinct of biological instinct to avoid danger. There are very few mosquitoes in this place now, and Liu Xiu doesn’t even need to light mosquito coils at night.
Every few days, Liu Xiu would witness the scene of the entire bee swarm being moved. The swarm with a big fist really covered the sky and the sun. When Liu Xiu saw it, he felt a little numb.
Fortunately, the bee swarm did not attack Liu Xiu, and even when Xiaobai was away, Liu Xiu could get along with the bee swarm alone, which made him feel a little furious.
Secondly, Xiao Hei has grown up again. After a while, the guy's body length has grown to nearly fifteen meters, and he is the well-deserved overlord of the mountain forest!
Every day, Xiao Hei would come to this plain to rest, but this guy was taught a lesson by Liu Xiu many times, and he had already extinguished his thoughts of turning over. Many times, his tiger face would even show a humanized and flattering expression to Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu's heart was quite strange when a real mountain overlord fell to the point where he needed to please and act cute.
It is worth mentioning that the guy had no scars on his body when he got up. He had been injured almost every day, and he didn't know what he had experienced. Liu Xiu was not interested in asking about it. Even if that guy brought two little kids to come one day, Liu Xiu was not surprised.
Well, it is worth mentioning that Xiao Hei is a female...
Considering that Xiao Hei is a female, Liu Xiu has already roughly understood why it was injured every day during that period. It was definitely caused by the male tiger in the mountains and forests coveting its beauty and fighting.
But is there any tiger in the mountains and forests that can beat it?
Liu Xiu guessed that those male tigers may not even want to lick their lives when facing Xiao Hei's tall and mighty "beautifulness". In the world of animals, Xiao Hei represents excellent genes. If it can give birth to offspring, it is really worth the male tiger to sacrifice its life. After all, the continuation of life will always be the main theme.
When the sun sets, whether it is rice or dried fruit, after the sun exposure, the moisture has been dried up. Liu Xiu quickly put it away and put it in place, and he can slowly taste it in the future.
On the terrace of the bamboo building, Liu Xiu made two side dishes and a pot of wine, and ate them without any taste. Occasionally, he looked at the calm lake surface as calm as ever, and always felt that something was missing and he couldn't lift his whole body.
After finishing the usual morning routine the next day, Liu Xiu looked at the sky, frowned slightly, and still stood up and went to Qingliu Town.
I was busy harvesting crops before, but the clinic had been closed for two days, and after the work was done, the clinic would continue to open.
No one can guess God’s thoughts. The sun shone brightly the day before, and one day later, the sky became cloudy. Although it had not reached the point of rain, few sunlight could be sprinkled.
Sitting in the clinic, I picked up a book about fingering and watched it slowly. When it was almost noon, Liu Xiu put down the book and went to the door to look up and frowned slightly again.
The dark clouds in the sky became more and the air was stuffy, making people feel uncomfortable all over.
Of course, with Liu Xiu's current physique, he has long been invincible with cold and heat, and it is purely due to the soul.
"Is it going to rain? I'm afraid it's not just the ordinary light rain..."
Looking at Tianqiong muttering to himself, he was about to return to the room and suddenly his face changed slightly, and he turned around and looked at Tianqiong again with his eyes flashing.
Now is the harvest season, and ripe crops are growing in the fields. If a rainstorm suddenly comes, it is very likely that countless farmers will be wasted their hard work for a year.
If the farmers have no harvest, it will be too cruel to them. I don’t know how many people will starve to death!
Thoughts flashed, Liu Xiu soon closed the clinic, pasted a piece of paper that had closed outside the door and went to Linbian Village.
A heavy rain may come at any time, and he can't take much care of it alone. The villagers in Linbian Village have a good relationship with him. If they can take care of it, Liu Xiu will not be stingy. Anyway, there will be no one in the clinic in general, and they will be idle.
"Maybe it's time to start quietly, come little by little..." Liu Xiu said in his heart when he went to Linbian Village.
Linbian Village is dozens of miles away from Qingliu Town. It is not far away. It takes several hours for ordinary people to walk.
The sky is gloomy and the air is stuffy, making people feel irritable for no reason.
At this time, the countless villagers in Linbian Village no longer had the smiles of the past, and their faces were solemn. Every household, men, women, young and old, had no choice but to eat, and they all went to the fields, sweating profusely to harvest the crops in the fields.
Farmers who look at the weather and eat more than others are actually good at God's expression. The changes in the weather quickly remind them of the crops in the fields.
Faced with heavy rains that could come at any time, the villagers wanted to grow their hands.
They need to cut off rice or soybean plants by manual harvesting. Because they are afraid of being exposed to rain, they have to move them home. How much can they harvest with just your hands in a short time?
Although mosquito coils have now become the pillar industry of Linbian Village, they can survive even without relying on the harvest in the fields, the thoughts of farmers from generation to generation have been deeply rooted in the bones. Only the harvest in the fields can make them feel at ease and cannot give up the fields. If they give up, they may have a piece of their lives.
